IMD Issues Rain Alerts as Delhi-NCR Experiences Heavy Showers and Waterlogging
Delhi-NCR experienced widespread rainfall from July 27 to 28, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing yellow, orange, and red alerts for heavy to very heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds. The showers brought relief from humid conditions but caused waterlogging and traffic disruptions in several areas. Temperatures dropped slightly, and air quality improved to satisfactory levels. The active monsoon phase is linked to a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal and is expected to continue with intermittent rain and thunderstorms over the coming days.
